Authorities say a naked man has been arrested in Missouri after fleeing on an all-terrain vehicle and driving the wrong way on an interstate.

Police say the man is suspected of being under the influence of drugs during the Sunday afternoon chase in northern Kansas City.

The chase began around 2:20pm with the unidentified man eluding officers in a field. After finding a break in a fence, the man made his way onto Interstate 435, where he started speeding south in the median shoulder of the northbound lanes.

Jess Fishell, who was heading to a family dinner after going to a shooting range with a friend, filmed the man speeding down the interstate.

'He's as naked as a jaybird!' Fishell is heard yelling during part of the video.

'I look over and I see a yellow ATV just come up on the road,' Fishell told KCTV. 'I said, "dude you're gonna get arrested on the highway." He was naked. It's something my grandma used to say - naked as a jaybird.'
